Sabal mauritiiformis Seeds

[PalmatierMeg]

Several months ago I collected approximately 500 seeds from a labeled Sabal mauritiiformis in a Fort Myers park. This species is considered the most beautiful and unique of the Sabals. It is also the most cold-sensitive and does not appreciate temps below freezing. I tried to get a photo of the mother but she was so tall and in dense canopy that I couldn't get a good shot. But on July 4, while at the Edison-Ford estate I found a labeled example of this Sabal.

The particulars:

Price: 50 seeds for $10.00

Shipping: $3.00 in padded envelope (US only)

Total: $13.00 (US)

Payment via Paypal

INTERNATIONAL PALMTALKERS, PLEASE READ: I will send these seeds outside the US for $10 + $10 shipping for 50 seeds. BUT, I MUST DECLARE THEM ON THE US CUSTOMS WEBSITE. I WILL NOT LIE TO THE US GOVT. Some countries, esp. in Europe, i.e., Italy, Netherlands, will seize packages. If your customs seizes your seeds I will not replace them or refund your payment. So buy at your own risk.

In addition, if you live in Northern Europe, know that Sabals will struggle in your climate. Even if they are hardy to far below freezing, they need long summers with sun, high heat and warm rain to survive those cold winters.
